EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken in 1903, showcases an Okapi (Okapia johnstoni), a unique and elusive forest-dwelling mammal native to the Democratic Republic of Congo in Central Africa. The Okapi, often referred to as the "forest zebra," bears a striking resemblance to a zebra with its distinctive striped hindquarters, but its body is covered in reddish-brown fur with irregular white markings. Discovered by European explorers in 1901, the Okapi was initially believed to be a hybrid between a zebra and a giraffe due to the misconception that zebras inhabited the dense Congolese rainforest. However, it was later identified as a distinct species. In this photograph, the Okapi is captured in its natural habitat, standing calmly and looking directly at the camera. The image offers a rare glimpse into the life of this enigmatic animal, which is rarely seen by humans due to its elusive nature and the dense forest environment it inhabits. The Okapi is a herbivore, feeding primarily on leaves, fruits, and bark. It is also an excellent swimmer and can run at speeds up to 50 kilometers per hour. Despite its unique appearance, the Okapi is not considered a threatened species, but its population is estimated to be around 10,000 to 20,000 individuals, and it continues to face threats from habitat loss and poaching. This photograph, taken over a century ago, remains an important record of the Okapi's existence and serves as a reminder of the importance of preserving the world's unique and endangered species and their habitats.
